Ingredients
- ½ cup mayonnaise (I prefer Duke’s brand)
- ½ cup plain greek yogurt (I use whole milk Greek yogurt)
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 2 teaspoons dried tarragon
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- ¼ teaspoon garlic salt
- ¼ teaspoon onion powder
- 3 cups cooked, shredded chicken (such as from a rotisserie chicken)
- 2 talks celery, diced
- 1 cup toasted pecans, chopped
- 1 cup red grapes, quartered
- Kosher salt and ground black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, vinegar, tarragon, sugar, garlic salt, and onion powder.
- Stir the chicken, celery, pecans, and grapes into the mayonnaise mixture until well combined. Taste and season with kosher salt and ground black pepper, if desired. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or up to 2 days.
- Serve the chicken salad on sandwiches, with crackers, or on a bed of greens.

Notes
- Prepare this salad at least 2 hours in advance. It keeps well in an airtight container in the refrigerator, and actually gets better as it sits overnight and the flavors come together. Stored properly, homemade chicken salad will last 3-4 days in the refrigerator.
- I do not recommend freezing this dish, since the creamy dressing may separate when thawed, and the fruit and vegetables will have a mushy, watery texture.
